(Trigger warnings Ahead:[Spice of violence]read at your own risk]

     "I'm sorry" Isabelle slump to the ground her eyes widened,her hands and legs shaking as she look at the dead body, one she'd touched yesterday,warm but not cold and battered,she scream one hollow,of pain,of grieve, Isabelle cried.

     >>>"I know,I know it's private but I can't help watching my favorite couples,why don't you come over today?"

  "Yeah,Um...Isabelle, Can I call you Isa?" 

   "Nice,Do you love him?"

  "The cream shouldn't taste that much in it and not everyone might like ginger,I prefer you make a lot of flavors so the guest will be able to choose the one they want"

    "Yeah,Um...Isabelle, Can I call you Isa?" <<<

    " Aaaarrgghh"Isabelle scream touching the cold body,Sasha rush into the room and step back in shock sighting the gruesome scene. "I stayed away,I fucking stayed away, why?Why? Xander why would they kill her? Why?"Isabelle shout, Xander wipe his tears and lift her up. "She didn't do anything"

     "Isabelle"James walk in and took her from Xander. " Hey"

     "SHE DIDN'T"

    "I know but you've to pull yourself together"

    " I CAN'T,SHE DIDN'T KNOW THEM JAMES,I STAYED AWAY,I STAYED AWAY SO THEY WOULDN'T GET TO HER BUT LOOK AT HER,LOOK at Maggie she's dead"Isabelle sob as James carry her to the room.

    A figure loom around the room and sigh, he knew something would happen,he knew something bad is going to happen and he could've stopped it,he could've done something but his anger on Isabelle hadn't let him think beyond the blind side.

    Aukey crouch beside Isabelle sleeping body, he'd seen them inject her just to stop her from going hysterical, he'd seen them look at her with care and he didn't realize when he also did, everything going on is hard on her, EVERYTHING!.

    "I'm sorry" Aukey whisper into her ears. "I'm damn sorry, it's all my fault"

     " I'll destroy you all,I will" He heard her say and froze. " I'll make you all pay, that's my promise to you betrayers"He stood up, fear gripping him and slowly his figure evaporated.

  ********************************

     "When was the body detected?"Rick asked the investigating team as they all sit on the sofa's.

     "8 in the morning" The officer replied. "She died around 3 in the midnight"

    Isabelle close her eyes and bury her face in Xander neck when she heard it, Then ,she remembered she was having the best time of her life, it's been a week and still the shock is far from going away,everywhere she looked she saw the girl in White.

    "Margaret death is the first one that started unplanned, he's signalling someone"Xander sit rigid when he heard that,his heart skipped a bit when he look at Isabelle,she stood up and made her way to the sturdy.

    She insisted on staying in the house,the one they'd left when they traveled on their honeymoon,he accepted because the penthouse is a bad memory to him too whenever he recalled Margaret laughter, he'd met her only thrice in his lifetime but her influence on him had been one of a lifetime.

     Isabelle lean on the gold shelf in the sturdy and bring out the small paper James gave her.

    "It was tied to her wrist" James had said but the note is just blank,all blank with nothing other than her blood, Isabelle jump up when a thought struck her mind,she open the drawers in search of a magnetic ink that could make her see the words.

     She pull the drawers apart desperately looking for it all of a sudden she stop and grab a particular file. DEATH CERTIFICATE.

     Isabelle tore it apart and bring out the most important booklet. ISABELLE MORELLA MACK DIED ON the gaps remained vacant, Isabelle gasp and fall to the ground,he has it,he has the death certificate.

     Xander pour himself a glass of wine when the others left,he lean on the counter looking at the darkness ahead,he lift his gaze towards the stairs when he heard footsteps. "Hey"

    "Hi husband" Isabelle force a smile and drop the files on the table, Xander gulp. "Since when?The day you'd sex with me?before that or after that?"

    " Isabelle..."

    "When?" She yell. "When Xander?when did you get this?you know if it's before that then you murdered that girl"

    "I'm sor..."

     "Don't you dare,What has come over you Xander? You've changed so much,so unrecognizable and... it's unfair Xander,this was with you and you kept quiet"

    " You'd leave and I didn't want that..."

     " You're disgusting"Isabelle interrupted. " You're a disgrace to men,when will you stop being so selfish?She died,a whole human died and that's just what I saw,there are things I hear,there are deaths...murders committed because of me,do you think I'm happy?"

    " I'm sorry"

    "Sorry? You'd no idea how many times I begged Xander,no idea and now that I thought everything is okay... especially between us you do this,I asked you for this but you never told me"

    " I'm sorry"Xander mumble. "Forgive me" 

   "The death certificate was with you all along,why did you lie?" Isabelle mutter,staring straight into the eyes of the only man she'd ever trusted,the only man she'd ruined with her one single decision "why?"

   "Because I don't want to let you go"He whisper, Isabelle look at him quizzically and ran back,His eyes trail her as she run to her room,Xander close his eyes,he could see her in his head packing her bag,he could see her dragging it down the stairs,and he could hear her say...

  "Good,I'm in love with Ian not you" Isabelle move to the door "not you Xander" He heard the door slammed.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The night shimmer around Isabelle causing flecks of shadows around her but just like then...sitting and waiting, jumping and singing for the plane to descend...

    "Go get them,get them" She saw the children danced ,free in their own world, oblivious of the danger and pain that seems to lurk around, oblivious of the flecks of unseen blood shimmering on their foreheads like the 666 mark.

  "Go get them,get them" Isabelle joined the children with her sister,all dancing, all waiting for their loved ones,all singing joyfully as the airplane descend and as the plane...

    "Isabelle" Isabelle jolt to reality and the pay phone she held across her ear coldness made her flinch. "Are you there? Isabelle please let it be you"

   " Mom"

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  "Hey there" Aukey team surround a nice built house but their gaze was on a petite figure,one they'd found associated with murder. "One more move and you're down" The chief shout meanly,the woman stop but just enough for her to grab her gun and veer around.

     The woman bring the gun to her forehead and grin. "You caught me chief,how fast?"

    " Zuzzana drop the gun"Aukey grit his teeth and try to get into her head,to knock her out. "Fight it"

     "It's myself"

     "You got it wrong there, you're not in control of yourself besides I want to ask a few question and it's all over"

     " I didn't kill her, I'll kill Isabelle but not her" Zuzzana smile,her eyes turning dark red,blood drip from it,the officers around cock their guns scared of the worse. "I wouldn't kill someone who as nothing to do with me"

    " Damnit" Aukey pull his hair roughly. "Triplicate" He mutter and the woman in front of him,holding a gun about to kill her self drop down unconscious,The officers rush to her side and kick the gun away from her hands. "Take her to the hospital"

    "Are you sure sir?" Pola said now coming to stand beside him. "This is going haywire"

    "He as control and it's going overboard,get her to the hospital" The chief murmur and stride back to the police car.

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    "Mom,How are you doing?" Isabelle heard a sob from the other side. "Are you okay there?"

    "As long as you are,What happened?why won't you call me? why are you this unfair?"

     " The way you were 15yrs ago" Her mother gasp. " You ruined a family"

     "Would you shut it now? Will you stop acting like I'm the criminal? I ruined a family, Yes I did ruin it but hey saint what about yours?"Tears fall from Isabelle eyes. "What about that innocent woman? What about her son's?Debra did nothing"

    "That's my problem, that's why I need answers, where's my dad?"

     " Isabelle please"

    "Where's grandfather?"

     "Isabelle stop it"

     "Where are they all?" Isabelle scream.

     "In heaven"

   "That's why I'm calling because this is going to end in disaster, I will kill mom"Isabelle snicker when her mom cursed.
